Dorothy Davidson Died Yesterday

From Alan Banov: Sadly, Dorothy Davidson, one of the great Montgomery County Democrats, died yesterday morning after a series of illnesses.

She was a wonderful, funny, and warm person, and she was one of the best tacticians you could ever hope to have on your side. While she supported some losers, she was very successful in contributing greatly to the successes of Rep. Chris Van Hollen in winning the nomination and election in 2002. We will sorely miss Dorothy.

Her funeral will be at 11 a.m., Monday, March 3, at Temple Emanuel, 10101 Connecticut Avenue, Kensington, in District 18, where she was a Democratic stalwart for many years.

Burial will follow at King David Cemetery, and a luncheon will be held at Temple Emanuel following the burial. We all extend our sincerest condolences to her husband, David Davidson, and the rest of her family.

Update: Karen MacManus asked me to let people know that the family has requested that donations be made in lieu of flowers to either:
